Elcan Specter DR Dual Role 1- 4X Optical Sight

The ELCAN Specter DR Dual Role Optical Sight represents a revolution in optical sight design. The world’s first truly dual field of view combat optical sight, the Specter DR switches instantly from a 4x magnified sight to a 1x CQB sight with the throw of a lever. Unlike zoom sights, the Specter DR offers an optimized optical path and identical eye relief in both 4x and 1x modes. Depending upon the situation, the user may adjust the sight to illuminate the crosshair or just a brilliant red dot in the center. In 1x mode, the Specter DR has by far the largest field of view in the industry. In 4x mode the SpecterDR offers a generous field of view, long eye relief, and ELCAN’s legendary crystal clear image. The Specter DR offers the best single solution for both CQB and Long Range engagements and is designed to withstand the rigors of modern professional use. Calibrated for the M855 5.56 NATO round.
